As an admin, you can use Managed Apple Id settings to assign unique Managed Apple ID for your organization. This will be used to authenticate users signing into Shared iPads enrolled via Apple Business Manager.

The path to the Managed Apple ID page on the UEM console is Groups & Settings > All Settings > Device & Users > Apple > Managed Apple ID.

What can you do with Managed Apple Id settings page?

With the Managed Apple Id page, you can:
  • Enable Custom Managed Apple ID Format.
  • Specify a custom format if the end-user's managed Apple ID is not the same as the end-user's email address in UEM.

Determine your Organization group hierarchy

Before you review and modify the settings, understand the two types of inheritance/override options for the organization group hierarchy available at the top and bottom of the settings page and determine your choice. For more information about these settings, see Override Versus Inherit Setting for Organization Groups.
  • Current Setting – Select whether to Inherit or Override the displayed settings. Inherit means use the settings of the current organization group's parent OG, while Override enables the settings for editing so you can modify the current OG's settings directly.
  • Child Permission – Select the available behavior of child organization groups that exist below the currently selected organization group. Inherit only means child OGs are only allowed to inherit these settings. Override only means they override the settings, and Inherit or Override means you can choose to inherit or override settings in child OGs that exist below the currently selected OG.

Enter the managed Apple ID settings in Managed Apple ID settings page.
